There are two reasons Chinese brands sell in Australia
- Price
- Availability
Aussie Preference in SUVs in the Cross, but the wait time can be as much as a year depending on the configuration.
The cross can cost a lot more than a haval.
I cant say for UK, the only other place i know in the English speaking world where RHDs are sold but in Australia, if Cross was as readily available as Haval or MG, these brands would likely not sell well
Also Older Haval Utes were notorious for rusting.
With the Australian govt. veering away from China, and with Trump as president it remains to be seen the future of these vehicles in Australia.
PS:
Lookup car expert on YT as well as the web. IMO its is better than most from Australia. For UK Mat Watson (carwow). Not as in-depth as car expert, but very humorous.
